Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

At our school, we have students that are advocates for the environment. I want to give my environmental science and marine science students the opportunity to take part in a study to measure the biodiversity of fish assemblages that live along the shore of our school. Our bay is undergoing many changes due to both climate change and human activities. This project's intent is to conduct fish biodiversity measurement every month. We will be working alongside the chemistry students who will be taking sea surface temperature reading and pH where students will analyze the data and see if there is any correlation between changes in biodiversity and climate change.
